Racist MTN TV Commercial

Keeper said:
I haven't seen this ad as I watch stuff on the PC 99% of the time, which have no stupid ads....

If I may still comment on this - stop worrying about an advert that suggests you can't dance - who cares really?

seriously now....

PS I agree with the advert though...black people DO have more rhythm! i'd never be able to move my feet as quickly as they do!

Yes but the advert is in poor spirit... its not funny or clever. It just tries to be mean about middle age white people who dance to commercial African music.

If it was funny then we could laugh about it... the point is that its not even trying to be funny and in the end it looks rather stupid.
Perhaps a similar advert would have been cool 10 years ago... now it just looks pathetic.

Watch the advert before you comment.:rolleyes:

:D:D

I thought so too:D
 
The ad may be funny to some, but it's the principle that irks me. Black people may insult white people on TV, but white people will be crucified in no time.
They make a movie, White Men Can't Jump (which is *** anyway), insulting white men, but God forbid white people make a blockbuster movie about insulting black men.
 
Come on, MTN. Time for a chicken, waffles 'n' watermelon comeback! :D

Oh that one!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen it and thought that it really looks like the company year end party with all the drunk bles dudes trying to dance:D:D:D

I mean have you guys seen yourself dancing on weddings year end functions and house parties???? :D:D
 
You should go watch a bruce willis movie, the 3rd one in the series with samuel l jackson, some serious racism in there but it's just a movie!!.

I am white and i admit i cannot dance for shyte :p o noes look i'm being racist now. Also i can head bang like a superstar :D, i have never checked a black dude head bang now that would make an awesome advert :p

I'm sure the rant comes because if it were the other way round it would have been unacceptable. I agree with the fact that black people have more rhythm, and I can laugh at myself. It's not the content of the ad that sucks. It's the fact that if it were reversed every Meet Joe Black and his brother would have been up in arms.
 
I agree blixempie...you should be able to let your inner racist out!! I need a hug...
 
Maybe you should play Resident Evil 5. You'll feel a whole lot better and learn to chill the fsck out!

Report the add to the ASA. If they support your view, they will get MTN to pull your add.

You should stay away from anything that involves spelling! i.e don't apply for an editor's job! :D
 
Oh ffs, if you can't laugh at yourself and the associated stereotypes then you need to do yourself a favour - drop your rods, reach behind deep into your anus and remove the bunch of carrots stuck up there.

Talk about a storm in a teacup...:rolleyes:
